it’s funny how liberals talk about legalizing pot in the sense of “why not/it’s like alcohol/this old lady with cancer could use a good painkiller” and never say “hey were putting thousands of black youth behind bars over this and it’s used to target black communities specifically and that needs to stop” it’s almost like liberal leaders and large swaths of their followers are just apathetic bourgeois elites who favor leisure and comfort over helping the poor and marginalized
